"Some white men have decided the left has nothing to offer them because of identity politics so they've embraced identity politics by devoting themselves to Trump"

Pretty much sums up what utter nonsense this piece is.

You're not a post leftist, OP, you're just shit. I hate when shit hears the term 'post-left' and decides to attach themselves to it so they can keep pretending they have any kind of radical bone in their body. You're the full embodiment of f/whiteness.

You really can't see how you're alienating everyone with this bullshit, can you?

Seriously, I am LOLing at how the best you can do is throw out the words "nonsense", "shit" and "whiteness" and deny me the labels of post-leftist(TM) and radical(TM). You literally have no arguments, just brand-labelling.

At least half of America hates you so much, they'd rather vote for a fascist than vote for a moderate version of your kind of politics. It's time you figured out why that is.

Your tears taste so sweet. I am literally rolling on the floor laughing right now.

No one should be indulging your nauseatingly obnoxious theater.

Says the guy/gal/whatever who keeps posting idpol baitzkrieg then getting butthurt from the fallout.

So tell me, how are you and your tiny coterie of militant idpols going to overthrow the useless white reactionaries who apparently make up most of your country?

You've rejected individual freedom and egoism, you've rejected human rights, you've rejected class struggle, you've rejected just about anything that might appeal to anyone who isn't both 1) from a Certified Oppressed Group (TM) and 2) educated in the correct ways of articulating their experience... aside from a handful of guilt-ridden white college kids who'll act as your cannon fodder. I seriously wanna hear how you think you're gonna make an insurrection, revolution, whatever out of this.

hey fucknut, eat my shit (ziq)
so you're the clown (ziq)
Peak brocialism (selver)
Fuck you. Go back to Reddit (zzzzxxxyyyy)
It's very hard to believe that you're writing any of this in good faith (Tequila Wolf)
you have no politics to engage with (ziq)
smug privileged piece of shit (ziq)
bro (ziq)
utter nonsense (ziq)
You're full of shit. (therealmidnite)

You going to do something about this? Or is your Third Way tone-policing and zero tolerance of expressions of anger restricted to people who disagree with you?

I'm an anarchist, which means I'm opposed to all forms of domination. That includes race, gender, etc. Workerist socialism simply doesn't address soo much of the domination that exists. Patriarchy is as insidious a hierarchy as capitalism, treating it as a minor issue is ignorant as fuck.

Not to mention the shit like this:

Neither the African and Asian nations that liberated themselves from colonialist oppression nor the USSR and Eastern Bloc states nor the left-wing movements that sprung up across Latin America in the early 21st century had any time to play identity politics.

You really want to look at the regimes that jailed & killed anarchists and minorities for guidance? Give me a fucking break. We should be doing everything we can to distance ourselves from those shitholes, not idolize their disregard for the oppressed.

According to anarchism, oppression is still oppression when you do it backwards. "Brocialism" is dismissing something based on the (perceived) gender of the speaker rather than the content of what's said. It belongs in the same dustbin as "feminazi" and "Jewish science" and all the other irrelevant ad hominem attacks on incidental features of the speaker.

"Brocialism and manarchism are umbrella terms for sexists within the radical left. Specifically used for those who believe that the creation of a socialist, Marxist, or anarchist system will inevitably bring about gender equality and that therefore no measures need to be taken other than the destruction of the hierarchy imposed by class."

When did I say this?

"Brocialism is the political, social, and economic ideology of those who claim to have Socialist or Communist leanings, but whose behaviour or beliefs are hypocritically sexist. A brocialist will probably even claim to be a feminist, and actively supportive of women's equality, sometimes in the same moment that they treat women like dirt."

Protip: When someone tells you that identity politics is divisive and the only culture the proletariat has is that of the proletariat, remember that when societies assimilate one with the most political might is the one that informs the bulk of the new culture. Don't subsume yourselves to the will of some cracker-ass breeder's russian civil war larp.
